It sounds like it is. The best shotguns were the problem. So every single special got nerfed... Yet the nerf also hits the worse specials the worst. Would you want to use pocket infinity now? Just wondering...
I haven't tried yet, but all these nerfs combined:
Only 3-5 crates per map.
25% per use, 2 minute respawn.
Takes 4 crate uses, 8 minutes for full special ammo using 1 crate.
EDIT: Special ammo crates now have a 100m drop radius ( so basically the whole map)
If your teammate takes the crate, you have 20 seconds to pick up the drop or it will despawn (120s resp inc)

I think the patch made the ammo issue a lot better. I'm seeing less shotguns and special weapons in general and when I do see them they're being used correctly, for their actual purpose.
